Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao

[Drew]

I've been excited for this fight for 6 months and it's finally here!

I really like Pacquiao but Hatton is my favorite fighter period. Pac-man will have to slip a little bit to lose this one but a pressure fighter like Hatton is the kind of guy to force him to do it. Anyone else gonna watch tonight?

[Warriorbird]

I'm pretty sure Manny will wipe him out. Doesn't mean it won't be epic.

[RichardCranium]

Yeah I don't think it's going to be much of a fight. I'm looking forward to Bulls/Celtics game 7 more.

[Ignot]

Im pumped for this fight too but mostly because there has been a lack of good fights. I'm going to be watching it, two punchers should be fun.

World of Beer is saying they can't show the fight... so it looks like Wing House tonight :(

HBO or PPV?

PPV

[Drew]

Yeah I'm heading to the Ale House, I have a friend who is PPVing in home but I like the crowd better. I definitely think it's going to be a great fight even if it's a 3 rounder a la Hearns-Hagler, it should be great 3 rounder. I expect a late knockout or a victory on the cards more likely though. Might see Manny down in round 1, Ricky in round 10ish.

[Ignot]

That was fast.

[Parkbandit]

Yea it was...

That hit was so fucking hard, it parted Hatton's hair in the back.

[SoupyPoopy]

I was kind of shocked, I expected to at least last 8 rounds with the same out come. Hatton wasn't even prepared for that right hook
